[Bug 37863] New: Halo only works using Nvidia graphics

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37863

Bug ID: 37863
           Summary: Halo only works using Nvidia graphics
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Using GPUs other than Nvidia (confirmed with Intel and AMD), Halo will launch
but will just display a black screen. The music and menu sounds work correctly
when the arrow keys are pressed giving evidence that other than the graphics
component, the game is still actually running.

When the game is placed in "Safe Mode" the screen is all black except for some
flashing vertices in the lower right quadrant of the screen. The terminal also
outputs the following error repeatedly:

fixme:d3d:process_vertices_strided Didn't expect the destination to have a
normal

Can you reproduce with a demo? If yes where can the demo be downloaded from?

It is reproducible with the demo on Intel HD graphics using wine 1.7.34

Demo:
http://download.cnet.com/Halo-Combat-Evolved/3000-7441_4-10235611.html

I attached a video of the result. Note that the screen is not black, but rather
some pixel-color (or an average of many pixel-colors) scaled to fit the whole
screen: see end of video. Also, at the beginning - the menu - some color
changes can be noticed.

And also interesting to note, is that on an Nvidia card (GTX 760) running the
opensource driver "nouveau", it does work! So it seems like it's
HW-dependent...

Video of Halo (Trial) on Intel HD:

Make sure you watch it in fullscreen in order to easily see the color-changes.

I can't reproduce this, I'm using Mesa 10.4.2 and wine-git. I can get to the
menu and the game, there are minor glitches in the weapon and the weapon sound
is not played when I shoot but the game is playable. This is what glxgears
-info tells about my graphics card:

GL_RENDERER   = Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ironlake Mobile 
GL_VERSION    = 2.1 Mesa 10.4.2
GL_VENDOR     = Intel Open Source Technology Center

I retried with wine-git:
Exactly the same results as in previous video.

$ WINEPREFIX=$HOME/Games/WineHaloTrialPrefix2 ~/wine-git/wine --version
wine-1.7.34-144-g412a070

$ glxgears -info
GL_RENDERER   = Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile 
GL_VERSION    = 3.0 Mesa 10.3.3
GL_VENDOR     = Intel Open Source Technology Center

$ uname -sro
Linux 3.16.7-200.fc20.x86_64 GNU/Linux

Maybe upgrading Mesa will solve it, I will try that when I have more time.

I retested with Mesa-git-10.5_git2015.02.04 (using live-usb from
http://www.gearsongallium.com/?p=1752), and this solved the issue!
Now I don't have any glitches, game runs perfectly with the Intel (OTC) driver.

So this means the title of this bugreport is invalid.
Can someone with an AMD card please retest the demo using the live-usb I used?

Since updating mesa solved the issue for you and probably for me (didn't test
in older mesa) the bug is more likely upstream and already fixed. Let's wait a
bit longer for someone with AMD test.

I can't get into game. It complains that it cant initilize directdraw. Safe
mode and bypass that error options are grayed out.

Basic console output basically just

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33cf28,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33d288,0x00000000), stub!

This is fixed.
I have never played this before.

Mission starts on some airships and you begin your invasion when you land to
the ground.

It still has the same black/flashing screen issue as of wine 3.2 with Intel
integrated graphics driver.

It works with nvidia GT630M discrete graphics that is part of nvidia optimus on
the same laptop, if using proprietary nvidia driver. So at least I can play
this way.
